Joe West's first two ejections, September 8, 1977 of Steve Henderson & Joe Torre. (NYDN 9/9/77). #MLB #Mets 
If you hurry down to Salt River Fields you can still grab a decent seat 😀

#Brewers OF Joey Wiemer continues to impress. With the secondbaseman shaded towards bag and down in the count 1-2, he went with pitch and lined it through hole into right for a base hit. He's hitting .444 in fall league so far, (12 for 27) with 3 DB, 1 HR, 4BB, 5K, 2 SB + Good D
Matt Dyer, Tampa Bay prospect in CF just made a highlight spectacular catch, diving parallel to ground to grab a ball and rolled over. Impressive.
Best: Wrigley Field. This is the only ballpark that gets two top features because they are synonymous with Wrigley. They also went in the same year (1937). The hand operated scoreboard and the ivy. #Cubs
Worst: Wrigley Field. Tempted to go with the lights. How great would it be if the Cubs still played all day games and forced MLB to play half the World Series under the sun in 2016? So, it’s the bullpen(s) that where buried under the bleachers. Never mind, it’s the lights.
Best: Miller Park. The roof. Would be easy to go with Bernie’s slide, but the roof is a work of art. #Brewers
The fact that two under .500 @MLB teams are in the playoffs and have a shot at winning the WS is the reason going to 16-team playoff format should be avoided at all costs. Yet, the majority of owners want this and according to Manfred, will likely be the format going forward.
Granted, this year is the exception, but going forward with a 16-team playoff format could result a 79-83 team making the playoffs in the future.
MLB isn’t the NBA where 8th seeds never advance to the final rounds.
An 8th seed MLB team with two star starting pitchers could.

Bernie’s Chalet from Milwaukee County Stadium still exists, it was purchased by Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee after the #Brewers moved to Miller Park and has sat inside their facility ever since.

Correction: There were 2 Bernie’s Chalets. The original sat at County Stadium 1973-84 & the 2nd from 1993-2000. The chalet in the 1st tweet is the 2nd chalet. Both chalets are now at Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee.

New name/logo for Miller Park. #Brewers
100% certain that 20 years from now, fans will still call it Miller Park, similar to how Progressive Field is still widely known as “The Jake.”
To clarify, Miller Park is still Miller Park until the end of this season.
Burton Albion had a very modest trading loss by Championship standards of less than £6,000 a week offset by sale of Jackson Irvine to Hull #Brewers
No borrowing from Burton Albion in 2017/18 and only investment was £1,100 from share issue as club continued to live within its means. #Brewers
Gate receipts just £1.8 million for Burton Albion in 2017/18. Commercial income of £11m includes about £7m of TV money which will fall substantially in 18/19 as standard payout in League One is £1.1 million #Brewers
.#Wisconsin story. Scott Walker and Tony Evers facing off in #wigovdebate
Walker and Evers sparring over who plagiarized what. Walker, who introduced the subject, got off it quickly. Gets in a Tommy Thompson (popular former WI governor, 1987-2001) reference, and adds more in the next segment.
Tony Evers pledges $1.4 billion in new schools funding, including $600 million for students with disabilities. This sounds like a lot. #wigovdebate
Although the 2016/17 financial results for the Championship are now a season out-of-date, they are the most recent published by the clubs, so people might still be interested in the comparisons as the new season kicks-off. Some thoughts in the following thread.
In contrast to the Premier League, only 6 clubs in the Championship made money, led by #NFFC £32m & #BarnsleyFC £13m. In this very competitive division most clubs over-extend in a bid to reach the lucrative top flight. Largest losses at 2 promoted clubs: #NUFC £47m & #BHAFC £39m.
Some clubs’ figures impacted by significant exceptional items, so #NFFC (£40m) and #ReadingFC (£9m) were boosted by loan write-offs. In contrast, promotion bonuses adversely affected #HTAFC £12m, #NUFC £10m and #BHAFC £9m. Newcastle also booked £22m onerous contract provisions.
@BBCRadioDerby #Brewers started well in the 1st half but ended up playing 12 men, making for a tough game. Biased ref on a power trip. #bafc

@BBCDerbySport Another note on the ref - engaging a fan in the crowd towards the end of the first half shows how unprofessional he was!
